I was three years old when this story ended, so far be it from me to question anything presented in this movie (that I honestly thought was a documentary until I saw "Jay Leno" and realized it wasn't). All I can really judge it on is it's enjoyablity as a film. To me, this feels like something that should have been a miniseries because we are jumping forward so often and right over parts where I think valuable information would have been conveyed. It's very Letterman heavy in the tail end I I can't help but feel like I'm missing a lot by not touching back in with Leno (and it was kind of vice-versa in the first half). It is very condenced and even though I was enjoying myself (the acting is very good and they just let Kathy Bates do her thing), I never felt I had a strong handle on what was going on. There is a lot of just studio bigwigs talking about things that I don't understand and they don't take any time to break it down. I think I learned quite a bit and waa thoroughly entertained, which is most of what I needed.
